A show about the different personalities we use in our daily lives. We talk about the idea behind the show and Maddy admits to liking to play different characters in her daily life with different people as well.</p> <p>We chat about the lack of comedians who play different characters on stage and how the people who do it find it so liberating to take on a persona and delve into comedy that wouldn’t normally suit their on-stage persona.</p> <p>Maddy recently set up her own TV production company, <a href="https://www.madmaddy.tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MadMaddyTV</a>, so we get taking about the ins and outs of that, how and why she established it, and some of the common pitfalls associated with setting up one. We dig a bit more into this then and talk a bit more about the TV industry and how to get things made and what to avoid doing.</p> <p>We speak about Maddy studying acting and how it lead her into comedy.</p> <p>We speak more then about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the kinds of things she has learned after having four successful solo shows there.
